Create namespaced XML nodes with dot `.` using Nokogiri

I'm using Nokogiri to generate XML:

Nokogiri::XML::Builder.new do |xml|
  xml['nitf'].nitf('xmlns:nitf' => 'bar') {
  // some nodes here

    xml.body {
      xml.head {
        //some nodes here
      }
    }
  }
end

The output is 

<nitf:nitf xmlns:nitf="http://iptc.org/std/NITF/2006-10-18/">
  // some nodes here
  <nitf:body>
    <nitf:head>
      // some nodes here
    </nitf:head>
  </nitf:body>
</nitf:nitf>

But I need to have <nitf:body.head> instead of <nitf:head>. How to achieve such a result?

Solved using #send:

xml.body {
  xml.send('body.head') {
    ...
  }
}


<nitf:body>
  <nitf:body.head>
  ...
  </nitf:body.head>
</nitf:body>
